# Photowall API 2
Provides a REST API to Photowall database.
## Installation
Make sure that your system has Python version 3.4 installed. If you dont have it here is how you install it on Ubuntu 12.04:
```
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install python3.4 python3.4-dev build-essential libpq-dev
```
Next its recommended that you create a [virtualenv](http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/) of python 3.4 and install all packages in it.
To do that execute the following commands in your project folder:
```
$ virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3.4 venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
```
